f you’re going to get ahead in the battlefield salvage business, you have to regard death as a means to an end. In other words, when the blood flows, so will the cash. Unfortunately, even though war is on the way, Saevus Corax has had enough.

There are two things he has to do before he can enjoy his retirement: get away with one last score, and get away with murder. For someone who, ironically, tends to make a mess wherever he goes, leaving his affairs in order is going to be Saevus Corax’s biggest challenge yet.

Fair ending to a fun trilogy

Saevus goes off to find a fabled treasure and definitely finds… something.

The final instalment of the Corax trilogy, and I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous books. It’s somewhat less funny, a lot less fun, and has a little too much geography in it. I enjoy Saevus as a protagonist, but I do wish he had a better time of it now and then. The world truly does seem out to get him sometimes. Though not my favourite in the series, it’s a nice, solid ending to the trilogy.
